What is up class of English one O three that is taught by miss Roberts. I am very tired and I would love to take a long nice nap. Anyway check this ad on a billboard out. This dude is ripping the billboard off with his bare teeth! Do you know how strong your teeth have to be to do that? Also look how pearly white those chompers are! The argument is that the Formula toothpaste strengthens teeth immensely and makes them shiny too boot! So strong that you can rip steel! That is amazing! My teeth are not the cleanest so I totes need some Formula toothpaste to get my teeth back in shape!

Now look at this billboard ad. It is a very effective ad made by Tylenol. The argument being made is that even the worst headaches can be cured by the hard fighting power of Tylenol. The imagery is glorious in this ad. A wrecking ball is crashed into a man’s head as he holds his temples. But fear not because even that aching pain is no match for Tylenol.  You get us back to normal Tylenol; you get us back to normal. Now my next one is my favorite.


A billboard company in order to get advertisements up decided to put up some pictures that can never be unseen. It shows an obese man with the caption “The sooner you advertise here, the better.” Within the next week another picture with the same dude was put up except he did not have a shirt on and is taking off his belt. Ew. Then soon it showed the man in nothing but underwear. What a way to generate business, by shock people into buying into your business, even if it is just to save people from seeing what the next picture would be.

ΤΙ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΠΑΝΩ CLASS. ΕΙΝΑΙ ΩΡΑ BLOG ΜΩΡΟ. Look at this advertisement! The rhetoric is priceless….. Get it? Priceless, because the ad has an exorbitant amount of money in it. Forget it, NO JOKES FOR YOU. Anyway it is a 3M ad for their new Security Glass. They put what seems to be a googolplex in American Currency inside the glass claiming that if you can break this glass, the money is yours. I’m sure many people tried and ultimately failed to break the super security power glass. This uses ethos in that 3M has quality products and a good background that they trust their glass that much to let people try to get that money. Also they use Pathos, because who does not feel emotion to a big pile of money. You best believe I would bring my trusty sledgehammer. Like dynamite and the whole works to get that money you know what I am saying bruh? Gotta get dat money.



Look at this little goldfish doing his thing in a glass bowl and… wait what the heck? Is that goldfish wearing a helmet?! Probably because he can’t even see the bowl due to Glassex window cleaner being so amazing at cleaning glass. I mean the fish has to wear a helmet, the product is so good! That is crazy. Best believe I’m going to put that on my parent’s glass sliding door or something ya know what I mean. So they will run into it you know? And it will be funny and what not. Maybe film it and put it on YouTube. But seriously this is some good rhetoric. Pathos is used in this wonderful, delightful ad to trigger an emotional response by audiences seeing the goldfish in a helmet. All I know is I am buying some as soon as the weekend hits.
